One of the big challenges for Man Utd this summer has been offloading Sancho; whose contract is really quite wild, over £220k a week and all as basic rather than incentivized. In that context, Villa taking on 80% plus a loan fee is decent damage control.

Probably a “dream” move with a big signing on fee, too, if he’s out of contract.

Marc Guehi is only 25, his contract is up in a year (so he can still have a “dream” move) and he’s at a Premier League club competing in Europe which has won two trophies in the past six months. He will survive.

If Liverpool continue like this the Premier League must really consider implementing rules against sustainable and competent ownership, the competitive balance of the league is at stake here.

The best pieces make you notice thing you didn't know or see for youself, or challenge you to think differently about something. This piece does both these things.

Liverpool showed more ambition in the second half yesterday - lots of positive runs from the midfielders to get between the lines, enable forward passes and create chances, which neither side did in the first half.

Eventual deal agreed here is €22m + $3m in bonuses so despite Man Utd not paying Antony off, it appears they’ve foregone a couple of million which probably then allows Betis to use those to go into Antony’s salary in some way.

New @TheAthleticFC : . Antony situation not as simple as appears. Fee: €25m + €3m in bonuses. 50% sell on. BUT Antony wants €4m wage cut he will face by leaving United for Betis to be covered. Betis say won’t go higher. United hope it’s brinkmanship.
